Not only is buying replacement cables and chargers expensive there is the matter of recycling or throwing away the old worn out cable as well.

Sooner or later, most cables break, with the rubber near the plug breaking and exposing the wire and this happens with normal use. It boggles my mind how such a premium product can be made so poorly, the charging cables for Apple devices are unfortunately very sensitive. There’s overvoltage protection, short-circuit protection, current regulation, automatic current matching, and temperature control.I find it hard to understand why Apple which is one of the worlds largest multi national companies can’t provide a sturdy cord for the iPhone, iPad or MacBook. Plus, this charger comes with all kinds of safety and protection built-in. If you need a longer cable, make sure you get one that’s capable of supporting that speed. There’s a Type-C cable included that’s 3.3 feet long and capable of charging up to 100W. The USB-C port can deliver 87W via a supported cable and up to 24W total between four USB-A ports. Additionally, it’s important to make sure the cable you buy also supports the wattage the power brick can provide.įor most MacBooks, this 111W charger from Nekteck will work perfectly. If you think you’ll be using your laptop on the couch and the closest plug is across the room, make sure the cable that comes with the charger is long enough to reach. For the ones that do, they might not be long enough.

If extra ports are important to you, make sure you choose a charger that has a few extra charging ports built-in. But many of these MacBook charger replacements are also capable of charging other devices, like your smartphone.
